Resonant dynamics of extreme mass-ratio inspirals in a perturbed Kerr spacetime
Zhen Pan, Huan Yang, Laura Bernard +1
Extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRI) are one of the most sensitive probes of black hole spacetimes with gravitational wave measurements. In this work, we systematically analyze the…
Black hole binaries and light fields: Gravitational molecules
Taishi Ikeda, Laura Bernard, Vitor Cardoso +1
We show that light scalars can form quasibound states around binaries. In the nonrelativistic regime, these states are formally described by the quantum-mechanical Schrodinger equa…
Prospects for Fundamental Physics with LISA
Enrico Barausse, Emanuele Berti, Thomas Hertog +318
In this paper, which is of programmatic rather than quantitative nature, we aim to further delineate and sharpen the future potential of the LISA mission in the area of fundamental…
The physics of black hole binaries: geodesics, relaxation modes and energy extraction
Laura Bernard, Vitor Cardoso, Taishi Ikeda +1
Black holes are the simplest macroscopic objects, and provide unique tests of General Relativity. They have been compared to the Hydrogen atom in quantum mechanics. Here, we establ…
Challenges to global solutions in Horndeski's theory
Laura Bernard, Luis Lehner, Raimon Luna
We explore the question of obtaining global solutions in Horndeski's theories of gravity. Towards this end, we study a relevant set of the theory and, by employing the Einstein fra…
Dynamics of compact binary systems in scalar-tensor theories: II. Center-of-mass and conserved quantities to 3PN order
Laura Bernard
The equations of motion of nonspinning compact binary systems at the third post-Newtonian (PN) order in massless scalar-tensor theories have recently been obtained. In the present…
